Syntax
'EDIT'(id,x,y,w,h,title,flags)
Description
The 'EDIT' mnemonic creates an edit control, which displays a single line of text for editing. If multiple lines of text are needed, the 'CEDIT' mnemonic must be used instead. One special use of the edit control is for password entry, where the password flag ($0400$) is enabled. As the password is entered, asterisks are displayed in the control, one for each character entered.
